Day 1
I promised him I would wait.
Day 4
I rolled over in our bed and tried to find it.
But I couldn’t.
Therefore, I climbed out of bed, strolled to the closet, grabbed one of his hoodies, walked to the bathroom, and sprayed the hoodie with his cologne.
Then I climbed back into bed, pulled the covers over me, and lay my head down on that hoodie.
Day 8
I walked into the clubhouse to help get everything ready for the Thanksgiving dinner that was taking place in two days.
Day 12
I was back at the clubhouse helping clear out the leftovers from Thanksgiving. And to also help decorate for Christmas.
Day 24
I went to see Grey.

Day 38

Merry Christmas to me.
Day 39

My brother called, and I blocked him.
Holly Anne called, and I blocked her, too.
